Reviews of Halifax Massage Therapy (Massage Therapist)

Jesse Williams

Michelle's mix of techniques which now are informed by 5 years of additional osetopathic training, are quite simply the best. She has helped me with ongoing issues and acute issues, and is also both helpful and personable. I couldn't recommend Michelle and her treatments more if I tried.

Michelle is highly skilled and professional. Gets to the root of soreness and aches for full body relief. She also has a very calming and welcoming presence. I will always go to Michelle for massage therapy treatment!

Michelle Forward is the best massage therapist in Halifax. She is also an osteopath so she has even more skills that will help you. I have gone to see her to increase range of motion in my shoulder after an injury, and for lower back pain. She is very knowledgeable so go see her for a deep tissue massage and she will find all the nasty knots and get you moving again! :)

I have received excellent therapeutic massage from Michelle Forward for a number of years. Providing comprehensive assessment, an expansive knowledge of the human body, being curious, skillful in applying a range of techniques, respectful and thoughtful interaction - all these attributes set Michelle apart from many other RMTs in Halifax.

I have been seeing Michelle for a few years now and she has helped me with many different injuries and body soreness. Her knowledge is extensive ,including osteopathic and deep tissue techniques. She listens and educates. I always feel feel more relaxed , looser and perhaps a couple of inches taller☺️

Going to Michelle at Halifax Massage Therapy allows me to continue to play sports and activities at a solid recreational level. Michelle is able to keep me in the game with her therapeutic approach and is a master at her craft. The endearing sense of humor doesn't hurt either.

I would recommend Michelle to anyone and everyone with any condition and pain level. She has a very broad knowledge of body and how it works. After every session I have had the past year I am convinced again and again that she works with magic! She knows exactly which muscles, nerves or joints need a treatment and does just what your body needs with here famous angelic hands. She is hands down: The Best.

As many other people have said here, Michelle is an exceptionally skilled therapist and I too would recommend her without qualification. I moved away from Halifax about six years ago and haven"t seen Michelle since then. but I still benefit from her knowledge and treatments today. When Michelle was treating me I was dealing with the cumulative physical effects of a lifetime of living with unattended childhood trauma. Although I am no "expert" regarding treating trauma I believe strongly that Michelle's treatments helped me overcome the debilitating effects of this early trauma, and further helped put me on a path to a much more healthy mind - body balance. I will forever be greatly indebted to her.

I was in a MVA 10 years ago and suffered a spinal cord injury. I have been to every physical therapy treatment available and all have helped me to return to the best physical and mental health I can attain, but I still live with chronic pain. My back seized up on me about 6 weeks ago and I decided to go to see Michelle Forward at Halifax Massage Therapy. I was amazed at the work she was able to do with me. After just 2 sessions I was completely pain free and very relaxed. I went for a third session just to ensure my upcoming vacation would be a comfortable one. And it was! Michelle is also studying Osteopathy and therefore her medical expertise is very well rounded. I have to honestly say that having lived with chronic pain for the last 10 years, Michelle has given me the best massage I have ever had. She has magic hands and the price is very reasonable and all taxes are included. I highly recommend her. Mary Nell Raphael

I'd been going to various massage therapists for years but once I found Michelle, I stopped looking around. She's amazing!

Michelle is a gifted massage therapist. She takes the time prior to each session to check in with you and really listen to your concerns and preferences. You never feel rushed. Michelle uses techniques that ensure that every ache, pain, and blockage is found, massaged and tensions released. She is very healing and has an amazing understanding of the body. As soon as the session begins, Michelle seems to immediately locate the areas that are achy, stressed or painful. I always leave her treatments feeling very relaxed and light. Michelle's expertise adds so much to my overall health and well being. In addition to the massages, it is wonderful to connect with Michelle personally. Her manner is very approachable and reassuring. Her wealth of knowledge is very comforting when you need guidance on your overall health or on a specific issue. I feel very lucky to have such an amazing massage therapist and highly recommend Michelle. She is outstanding in her field.

I have been seeing Michelle for massage therapy for many years now. I have a medical condition that effects my circulation, and gives me muscle spasms; and I really appreciate the depth of knowledge Michelle has concerning the therapy she provides. You will not be disappointed if you see Michelle for whatever massage therapy you require.
